This is awesome. I've looked at @Raycast before but they got me with this.

I signed up for @OpenArt.ai because I saw the Product Hunt launch and needed to make a birthday card for my toddler and thought it was super cool. I tried a bunch of other AI image generation tools but they always skewed my kid's face to the point it was unrecognizable and you can't re-use a character across different images. I'm making a personalized children's book with it right now and my...

I tried to use Zapier recently to loop through the contents of a web request and put it in an AirTable and it took hours and tons of back and forth from support to basically confirm that they couldn't do it. I think I had it up and running on @Make in 10 minutes after that. I've used Zapier so much but after using Make, it just feels more powerful and easier to use. I am really curious about...

Stripe is the de facto. You get so much with it and the fees are "normal".Paddle seems like a competitor but the trick is that you are not the merchant of record if you use Paddle. This has a ton of implications for your business and owning your revenue stream that would be really hard for me to ever get past.

Acrobat must be the single most depressing piece of software ever made.

They had a chance to do this and blew it by letting anything become a GPT plugin. Now it just feels like a bunch of noise.

I'd hack on something. Seems like the least I can do if the thing's going to build it for me.

Holy heck I had no idea Telegram had 1B monthly active users (source). I'm in the USA, too, and no one uses it in my circles (SF/Tech).I wouldn't use Telegram for anything unless the use case was so good I couldn't avoid it.

I've tried a few of them because I hate email. The main thing I wanted for it to draft emails in my tone based on previous emails. Default AI is so obvious and stale so using the base LLM model to write emails was a non-starter for me. Even though most of them claim to do this, I found that none really do circa a few months ago. I think @Superhuman 's "inbox beta" will do this when it's out of...

Congrats! How was the launch?

@Builder.io Is the one I've heard that a lot of people use.

Plandemicmusical.com. Bought during the 45 minutes in which I was going to write a satirical broadway musical about how Bill Gates really did start covid. Obviously can't let it expire.

I found setting up local MCP servers with Claude to be a pain but the more important part is that I couldn't find a use case that actually made sense. I was sold on the idea of being able to chat with a database, Stripe, external service, etc. but the only thing that I could actually do was run a prepared set of interactions, none of which I trusted Claude to do nor would any of them yield any...

@TextExpander and/or @Text Blaze are both unsung heroes for me. They both offer text snippet expansion but TextBlaze does it inside Gmail which allows you to automate a bunch of repetitive email stuff.@Lindy is pretty good at email automation drafting based on a knowledge base@Pomofocus I use a lot as a really lightweight pomodoro timer

Doesn't the iPhone already have this? Is yours significantly better than the native one?Pardon my naiveté

How can I track my VO2 max without leaving my house?

What was the moment or moments where you knew you were "onto something" with Graphite? Any fun stories about growth, breaking stuff, inflection points, etc?

Zooming out ~5 years, what does software engineering look like? Developers are writing more AI code of course but then are tools like Graphite the guard rails? What changes about our overall stack and infrastructure decisions? Do AWS/Google/Microsoft just buy up all the vibe coders to get vendor lock in for their cloud businesses?
